Price list

The first thing you will find is the price list. The price list selected as default when the price lists were set up is pre-selected. You can choose a different one using the price list menu. And if you need to, you can make the final adjustments to the price list by clicking on Edit.

Promotions

Unlike vouchers, which apply to all galleries, promotions allow you to set specific discounts for individual galleries, and even allow different discount levels within the same gallery. This versatility gives you the ability to customize your discounts and effectively boost your sales.
To add a promotion to a gallery, open its Sales Settings Ensure that the Allow ordering option is activated. Once in the Sales Settings, activate the Promotion to view its customisation options. You can limit the promotion to one use per customer by ticking the appropriate checkbox.

Sales settings with active promotion to be filled

Promotions require a specific end date, which you can set in the End date field. You can choose whether to specify the promotion as an absolute or percentage discount by selecting the appropriate option in the Type box. Choosing Absolute means you are specifying the discount amount in absolute terms, while Percentage means you are specifying the discount as a percentage of the customer’s order value.
You can create up to three different discount levels within a promotion. For each level, you can set the Amount and Minimum order value required to activate it. This incentivises customers to reach the maximum discount available, encouraging them to buy more products. Like vouchers, for each discount level, you have the option to cover the shipping costs for your customers’ purchases by ticking the shipping checkbox. Note that this does not affect Saal Prio accounts, as they already enjoy free shipping. With a Saal Prio account, neither you nor your customers will incur any shipping costs

Sales settings with active promotion

Once you have set up the promotion for the gallery, click Save. When you open the gallery’s shared link, you will see all the details of the promotion at a glance. The expiration date of the promotion and the amount required to claim the discount will be displayed in the top right corner. Once a customer reaches a discount level, the amount required to reach the next discount level is automatically adjusted.

The discount will automatically be applied to your customer’s shopping basket. Please note that promotions and vouchers cannot be used at the same time.
